Gary Tyrrell\'s interior

[jonrx7uk]

Mine is a \'92 as well.  You should be able to scratch the coating with your finger nail (all \'92 cars had this coating IIRC).  I think it was used as an afterthought to dull the interior (for glare?)because the plastic underneath is quite shiny.

The Halfords paint & laquer is quite good and hard-wearing.  I went for a darker colour as i didn\'t want to have any glare in the cabin.

Clive must have chose his colour to reduce glare in the cabin too! :p

What did you rub it down with? Wire wool be ok for this?

Interesting...and thanks for the pics. The brushed aluminium effect looks great. Also, i can imagine how well Ford Polaris Grey would go inside a Brilliant Black rex. Any chance of some pics of that hard work, Jon?

For 7\'s older than 92 models, was the rubber removed. I remember reading that one of the versions was made with cheaper interior parts...does that refer to the rubber being removed?

And Clive, it certainly did catch on!:D

cheers for your help clive, looks like removing and painting it is the way to go!

your interior looks brilliant!:yes

I used a butter knife believe it or not to get the coating off!  It took hours but was by far the best way.  Once most of this was off i finished with 400 grit sandpaper all over to prepare for painting.

The end results are well worth the effort, it has taken years off the interior of the car

I\'ve no pics i\'m afraid, but it really is worth doing.

Let us know if you have any trouble removing any of the interior parts, i could probably do it with my eyes shut now...

Fine wire wool would be O/K as you will need to get the remaining laquer off if it\'s an early car.

Don\'t think that will be  problem, it appears to be falling off at will anyway! :rolleyes:

i have just started rubbing mine down for painting and andy p has agreed to take pics for the site as i dont have a digi cam . i have used 800 paper and alot of elbow grease and is coming off well will start posting as soon as pictures are taken

[msc125]

great to hear you\'ll be taking pics hounddog.

i\'ll be changing my steering wheel over the weekend, and because it\'s so awkward with a momo boss, i\'ll take pics of that for future reference

i\'ll be starting my interior next week hopefully, and will take pics aswell.

I did something a little different with mine

[msc125]

thanks for the pic teamafx, how did you do it?

i checked out the jeffrx7 site, and those rotor tail lights look cool. how were they done? were the rotor shapes cut out of black film then stuck over the lights?

[msc125]

after much thought and deliberation i\'ve decided to order the brushed aluminium kit from america.

i checked out the ford polaris grey at halfords, and i agree it woulld like great on a black rx.if it all goes pear-shaped i can always remove the dash kit and rubbery coating and go for the ford polaris grey.

i\'ll let you guys know how i get on, and should be able to post some pics soon!!

Quick thing to check, but will it fit a RHD car or do they do two versions?

[msc125]

he\'s charging me about £25 extra to make one for RHD, not too bad as these people seem to be the only people that do the brushed aluminium kits

[Hound Dog]

whats the total cost of the kit ? i am sure you could do in that colour by yourself, i am still doing mine just been busy at work but going really well and looks great
